Molecular basis of bacterial outer membrane permeability.
INTRODUCTION Bacteria produce cell walls with the exception of mycoplasmas, and the cell wall component common to all eubacteria is the murein, or the peptidoglycan, which contributes mechanical rigidity. All gram-negative bacteria contain an additional layer in the cell wall structure, i.e., the outer membrane, which is located outside the peptidoglycan layer and shows up as a trilaminar struc...
متن کاملBacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles and Vaccine Applications
Vaccines based on outer membrane vesicles (OMV) were developed more than 20 years ago against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B. These nano-sized structures exhibit remarkable potential for immunomodulation of immune responses and delivery of meningococcal antigens or unrelated antigens incorporated into the vesicle structure. This paper reviews different applications in OMV Research and Devel...
متن کاملGlycoengineered Outer Membrane Vesicles: A Novel Platform for Bacterial Vaccines.
The World Health Organization has indicated that we are entering into a post-antibiotic era in which infections that were routinely and successfully treated with antibiotics can now be lethal due to the global dissemination of multidrug resistant strains. Conjugate vaccines are an effective way to create a long-lasting immune response against bacteria. However, these vaccines present many drawb...
متن کاملA Molecularly Complete Planar Bacterial Outer Membrane Platform
The bacterial outer membrane (OM) is a barrier containing membrane proteins and liposaccharides that fulfill crucial functions for Gram-negative bacteria. With the advent of drug-resistant bacteria, it is necessary to understand the functional role of this membrane and its constituents to enable novel drug designs. Here we report a simple method to form an OM-like supported bilayer (OM-SB), whi...
متن کاملArchitectures of Lipid Transport Systems for the Bacterial Outer Membrane
How phospholipids are trafficked between the bacterial inner and outer membranes through the hydrophilic space of the periplasm is not known. We report that members of the mammalian cell entry (MCE) protein family form hexameric assemblies with a central channel capable of mediating lipid transport. The E. coli MCE protein, MlaD, forms a ring associated with an ABC transporter complex in the in...
